Founded in 2013 as an independent brand, Gruppo Gamma has been designing and building vintage-inspired tool watches that are easy to read, fuss-free to operate and good enough for daily adventures.
Defiantly Non-Mainstream – Their brand name was inspired by the Italian frogmen unit of the same code name, that was first put to action in 1940 and was the first modern naval diver unit. The top secret elite force was called “Gruppo Gamma” which was said to have originated from the Pirelli rubber skinsuit, called “muta gamma”, that was used by the divers. For underwater operations the divers were issued timekeeping instruments repurposed from pocket watches, worn on the wrist using leather straps.
